Why aren't igneous rocks a good place to look for fossils?
You rarely find fossils in igneous rock for one reason. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Most living material is destroyed by the heat leaving no recognizable fossil.
What type of rock might have fossils?
Igneous rock is formed by the cooling of magma - liquid or molten rock. Fossils won't be found in there for obvious reasons. We don't even bother to look for fossils in something like, say, basalt, which is an igneous rock. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on igneous rock.
Igneous rocks can look very different depending on?

How do igneous rocks can become sedimentary metamorphic and igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks can transform into sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion, which breaks down the igneous rock into sediments that are then compacted and cemented together. Igneous rocks can also undergo metamorphism due to heat and pressure, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks can also melt and be recrystallized to form new igneous rocks through cooling and solidification.
How do you classify igneous rocks?
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....
What do setementary rocks look like?
Sedimentary rocks can vary in appearance depending on their composition and formation process. Some common characteristics include layers, textures (such as sandstone's grainy texture), and visible fossils or imprints. Sedimentary rocks can come in various colors and often have a more rounded or smooth appearance compared to igneous or metamorphic rocks.
Why don't igneous rocks look like magma rocks if igneous rock is formed from magma?
Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
What 3 things do you look at to key out igneous rocks?
color texture and mineral composition
